15.EXT. CAR - DAY.15.
BILL is driving along.
16.EXT. PARK - DAY.16.
Reminiscent of BILL'S dream: schoolchildren are playing,
teachers supervising. A laborer is eating lunch with a
co-worker. A little boy is sitting alone in the shade of a
tree.
BILL pulls up to the side of the field and observes from his
parking space.
He gets back in his car.
17.INT. BILL'S CAR - DAY.17.
BILL is at the wheel again, a little tense.
18.EXT. MINI-MALL - DAY.18.
BILL pulls into the lot. He walks into the 7-11.
19.INT. 7-11 - DAY.19.
BILL picks up a Boy's Life, pays for it.
20.EXT. MINI-MALL - DAY.20.
BILL gets into the back seat of his car and sets to
masturbating.
SHOPPERS walk by with shopping carts, little children,
oblivious to the activity inside Bill's car.
Finally, BILL gets out of his car, tucks in his shirt,
tosses the scrunched-up magazine into a dumpster, returns to
his car and pulls out.
21.INT. BILL'S KITCHEN - EVENING.21.
BILL comes home as Trish finishes preparing the dinner
table. He gives her a peck on the cheek. Their kids are
eating in the adjacent TV Room.
TRISH:
So how was work today, Hon?
BILL:
Oh, fine.
KOOKI sniffs BILL'S pants, excited.
TRISH:
Kooki, no!
BILL:
Down, Kooki!
KOOKI calms down somewhat.
BILLY ENTERS, opens the refrigerator, pours himself a soda.
He looks dejected.
BILL:
Hey, Billy! What's going on?
BILLY:
Nothing.
TRISH:
He's
(making quotation marks
with her fingers)
"depressed."
BILL:
Is something the matter?
BILLY:
And he leaves for the TV room again.
TRISH:
Ignore him. He's just doing it for
attention. He thinks you'll be
impressed. As if. So anyway�
Joy came by today.
BILL:
How's she doing?
TRISH:
Oh, God, I dunno, and frankly�
I'm concerned. I mean, she's not
like me. She doesn't "have it all."
She pretends to be happy, but
she's miserable.
BILL:
Why do you think that is?
TRISH:
To be frank, I think she's lazy.
She's not a go-getter, like me or
Helen. And she's so picky. I gave
Damien Ross her phone number, for
what it's worth, and Joy sounded
interested, naturally, but�I dunno.
I'm afraid to have to say it, but
truly it's what I believe: she'll
always be alone.
BILL:
We're all alone.
TRISH:
Oh, Bill. Sometimes I wonder how any
of your patients can talk to you.
BILL:
Sometimes I wonder if they'll ever
stop. I should tape some for you.
TRISH:
Would you? Would you really?
So that I could listen, too?
BILL:
No.
TRISH:
You're such a tease.
You know I wouldn't tell anyone.
BILL:
I know. 'Cause you're so secretive.
TRISH:
Well, maybe not as secretive as you.
BILL:
What secret would you like me to
tell you?
IRISH puts her arms around BILL.
